EBSIP (0, 2, 2)

Species with a status of EBSIP (Essex Birdwatching Society's Identification Panel) are rare and unusual species for Essex and require descriptions and notes.

The three figures after BBRC or ESIP follow the rules defined by Wood(1996):

The first figure denotes the total number of records in Essex up to and including those detailed in the Guide (Cox 1984) plus any historic records that have since been accepted by BBRC/BOURC/EBSIP e.g. 1826 American Bittern, 1868 White-tailed Eagle

The second figure denotes the total number of records from the period 1981/82 to present.
